* ''Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries'': Inverted with the episode "Holy Matrimony", which reveals James' background as a former rich boy. The cast initially sees a mansion which they think it's his house. It's the ''dog'' house. The actual mansion is ''even bigger'', right next to it.

* ''Film/{{Transformers}}'': Sam's dad plays this deliberately. When taking him to get his new car, he drives Sam through the parking lot of a Porsche dealer, waiting until Sam says in disbelief and excitement, "You are not getting me a Porsche!" to which Dad replies, "You're right. You're not getting a Porsche," and drives into a used car lot.

* Inverted in ''[[WesternAnimation/GarfieldSpecials Garfield in Paradise]]''. Stranded in a tribal village, the chief calls for his daughter and her cat to meet his guests [Jon and Garfield]. The first girl and cat they see are rather homely, but then the real daughter and cat emerge, both of them significantly more attractive.

-->'''Bart''': What are you gonna do to me?
-->'''Principal Skinner''': Bart, not all Community Service is gang warfare and dangerous infection, and to illustrate that point here's where you'll be working.
-->[Principal Skinner points in the direction of a storefront]
-->'''Bart''': The Fireworks, Candy, and Puppy dog store!?
-->'''Principal Skinner''': No, no, no. Next to it.
-->[Next to the store is the Springfield Retirement Home, where we see Jasper and the [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Old Jewish Man]] sitting. Grampa comes outside]
-->'''Grandpa Simpson''': Settle a bet: boil or mole?
-->[Bart gapes in horror]

-->'''[=SpongeBob=]:''' Behold, Patrick, the Hallway of Learning. And here's the Fountain of Learning. And these are the Lockers of Learning.\\

* A reversal of sorts in ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' backstory for the ''Millennium Falcon''. Han Solo wins a ship from Lando Calrissian in a card game, and Lando tries to get him to take one of the fancy-looking, worthless, all-style-no-substance ships he owns. Han pretty much says, "Not this one, that one," and picks the YT-1300 "junker". Goes to show how GenreSavvy Han Solo is. And smuggling-savvy. Han IS a smuggler, and the YT-1300 is the space equivalent of a beat up cube van--every legit courier business owns em, and nobody asks too many questions if they see one. Lando was trying to get him to take the equivalent of a Ferrari (high maintenance cop-magnet with no cargo space). Didn't want that, neither did he want the space equivalent of a semitrailer (may be a more efficient cargo hauler on a per-trip basis, but you can bet there will be a lot more regulatory agencies that want a piece of you if you own one-just what a smuggler wants to avoid). He wanted a ship he could turn into a medium-duty smuggling machine.

* Music/TheBeatles appear [[InkSuitActor in cartoon form]] in the ''Eek! The Cat'' episode "Octopussy Cat" where Eek is trying to get a squid (which rests on his head) back to the ocean. Eek crashes into a train berth where the Fab Four are in transit:

'''Paul:''' Oh, that's me grandfather. (''elderly man sitting next to him'')\\

* In ''Film/MuppetsMostWanted'', Kermit stands in front of a large, streamlined, electric railway engine as he says he hired a train for their world tour. He then realises it's there and clarifies "Not ''that'' train, ''this'' train!" as it moves away to reveal a small, garishly-painted steam engine pulling delapidated carriages. And then the smokestack falls off.
